Motto Desiring nothing. Refusing nothing. Cultivating the Conversation. The Call The Appalachian Order forms itself in the shadow of the Rhododendron bush — an embracing of a life filled with knotted, twisted branches as well as waxy leaves refracting a providential light and the blooming fragrance of beautiful bell flowers. Those that follow this path boldly endeavor toward a life re-attuned to the heart of the Creator, the very Word and Conversation of God, and the wholeness of creation. And in doing so, we endeavor to stand fast against the injustices of unfettered human ambition, seeking holiness in all things through our victory over sin and death in Christ Jesus.
